EXACTLY! After my mom died, I had zero support. I was actually told, at 13 years old, that I had to be strong and take over I guess. Well meaning but misguided advice that I would have to grow up I guess? I've thought about that over the years and I can't believe he actually said that to a kid who just lost her mother. I'm like wha?! Please help me I need an adult! lol
I watch the rest of my family and how they don't process their emotions well and bury them. I don't think they know how to handle their emotions honestly. That's one of the reasons I think they are some of the most damaged people I know. If they can't handle their own, then no wonder I was raised the way I was.
